Advanced Orthopedic Surgery Technology
GW Hospital is the first in Washington, D.C. to use the ROSA® (Robotic Surgical Assistant) Knee System for total joint replacements. The ROSA system helps surgeons perform procedures with greater accuracy. The fit of your implant is tailored to your unique anatomy. This helps improve comfort and your overall experience after the surgery. This minimally invasive surgery may result in less scarring, a quicker recovery and less pain.*
